From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 17 December 2002 as Brightlite Import Export Limited conducting engineering activities relating to the design, manufacture and selling of solar powered fridges. The Company was founded initially by Ian Tansley with Incorporated Directors Limited acting as nominee director until Ian Tansley was formally appointed as director in February of 2003, Ian Tansley later resigned as a director on 10 November 2016.
The Company name changed over the years to Bright Light Solar Ltd in April 2003, True Energy Limited in November 2010 and finally became The Sure Chill Company Limited in April 2013.
The most notable period of success came during the Covid 19 Pandemic, which saw turnover increase from £1.8m to £6.5m between the 2022 to 2023 financial year. This was due to orders increasing in the medical field for solar powered fridges to store vaccines.
